Troopers Organize Toy Drive

Every year just before Christmas, several members of the Troop E family get together to help the less fortunate children in the local Miami-Dade community.

The troopers and other FHP staff organize a toy drive to collect toys for the many boys and girls who would otherwise not have presents to open on Christmas morning. Large corporations such as Brandsmart USA donate many of the toys for the annual event. The participating FHP members all agree that just seeing the smiles on the children’s faces is worth all the time and effort!
